Have you seen the movie Chef? - Kyle has

After watching Chef (which, in our opinion is amazing) Kyle was ready to create his own Cuban sandwich, and it was epic.
 
 
For this Cuban you'll need:
1 wheat roll, sliced Cuban style
Sliced dill pickles (to taste)
Yellow mustard
Swiss cheese
Thinly sliced pork (or ham if you can't find pork)
Thinly sliced honey ham
 
Heat a grill pan and melt a small amount of butter
Place the sliced bread with the soft side down and allow to toast
Place sliced pork and ham onto the grill pan and let it warm up
While the meat is warming, spread mustard on both sides of the bread
Layer meat, pickles and cheese onto the bread slices and place back on the grill pan.
(You want the cheese to melt, and you want grill marks on this sandwich, so we suggest placing a heavy plate to weigh it down, unless you're fancy and own a Panini press.)
 
Once the cheese is starting to melt, quickly cut in half and enjoy!
 
Don't bother trying to drink anything with this, you'll be too full.
 
Cheers,
Kaitlyn & Kyle
 


Te-Killya Tacos

Tequila. 
 
 We love tequila and we love tacos, so to appease Kyle, we combined the two!
(She actually cooked shrimp....baby steps!)
To make this shrimp:
You'll need to devein the shrimp, since the bags lie.
1 cup tequila (whatever is handy, we know you have some on your bar cart)
2 whole limes
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1 table spoon chili powder
Pinch of salt/pepper
Place all ingredients in a large bowl and let sit for a few hours
 

Mango Jalapeno Salsa

To make this salsa you'll need:
1 jalapeno
1/3 cup diced red onion
1/2 cup diced mango
1/4  cup chopped cilantro
2 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1 lime
 
Chop all ingredients into a bowl and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top. Allow to sit for at least 1 hour so all flavors have a chance to mix.
 
Add your favorite taco toppings and enjoy!
 
 
This dish is best served with a frosty marg.
 
 
Cheers,
Kaitlyn & Kyle
 
* This dish can be easily modified to please any non-meat eater
** for our margaritas we used silver tequila, pineapple/coconut water and a splash of soda water
